Exercise 13-13 - Topic - Non Financial and Current Liabilities
Ayayai Corporation offers enriched parental benefits to its
staff. While the government provides compensation based on
Employment Insurance legislation for a period of 12 months, Ayayai
increases the amounts received and extends the period of
compensation. The benefit program tops up the amount received to
100% of the employee’s salary for the first 12 months, and pays the
employee 70% of his or her full salary for another 6 months after
the EI payments have stopped.
Zeinab Jolan, who earns $52,000 per year, announced to her manager
in early June 2020 that she was expecting a baby in mid-November.
On October 29, 2020, 9 weeks before the end of the calendar year
and Ayayai’s fiscal year, Zeinab applied for and began her 18-month
maternity leave. Assume that the Employment Insurance program pays
her a maximum of $720 per week for 52 weeks.
For the purpose of this question, ignore any tax, CPP, and EI
deductions when making payments to Zeinab.
